When you've had a week like I had last week, you need to take care of yourself, so when my friend Mary invited me up to Wolfeboro NH to visit on Saturday I didn't need much convincing. I got up, showered, got dressed and had breakfast, packed a few quilts (OK, six quilts and two tops) set my GPS and was on my way. When I left it was cool and overcast, but once I got into the Lakes Region the clouds parted, the sun came out and the temperatures went up. It was an absolutely perfect day.
Mary and I had a great day talking about quilts, family angst and any other thing had happened to crop up. After we were done looking at quilts, we gathered stuff for a lunch and she brought me to her town's private beach (above.)
This was our view as we sat at the picnic table and ate lunch and talked and talked and talked. I had really needed to "get out of Dodge" and spending the afternoon looking out on this calm scene really helped.
The biggest hurt from last week is gone, but the effects will linger on. (It happened in my house and now, sadly, a once-loved piece of artwork has a very negative connotation.) Thank you all for your positive words and kind thoughts. I love Carols' description of the Crazy Train and will do my best to remember not to supply any water or coal. I love Riann's idea of the Fix Up Crazy Kin project. I'll surely keep it in mind.
Thanks all, and I am going to remember the image of the placid lake and mountains if the Crazy Train visits again.
